You aren't wrong, Vortex, except that you are assuming I don't play by putting myself in the character's role. Actually,that's why I I struggle with the current state. You rest a lot, and there's nothing wrong with that. I get that if you feel it is necessary to rest in order to continue then you should.
But my point is that Long Rest should only happen when you need it. In my first playthrough, I had no idea what was coming, and I was told Im going to turn into a monster very painfully in mere days. I was afraid to use long rest except as a last resort, so I pushed through until I reached the grove. I think I may have done 1 long rest so I didn't get all the dialogues.
All Im saying is that players should get all the dialogues that make sense to trigger whether they Long Rest often or not. That way they can still have all the character development.
